Is your talent assessment model stuck in the past?
The world of work is shifting fast, yet many organisations are still relying on 20th-century assessment tools to make 21st-century talent decisions. Traditional models built around fixed traits, “ideal leader” types, and rigid competency frameworks no longer reflect the reality of today’s workplace shaped by AI, rapid change, personalisation, and new expectations of what people need to thrive.
These outdated approaches fail to capture the fluid nature of personality, the importance of learning agility, and the potential hidden in evolving strengths. The result is predictable: misjudged potential, disengaged employees, and talent strategies that simply can’t keep pace.
Join James Brook, Founder and Managing Director of TalentPredix™, for a practical, thought-provoking masterclass on how to shift from legacy models to more human-centred, inclusive, and predictive approaches to talent assessment and development.
